I think it's more like people claim there is more than there really is. They forget that 5* talent doesn't tend to stick around more than 3 years. 2015 class has 6 5 stars. 2 transfered, 3 declared early last year and Damion Harris was the only one to return.

What you really want are a bunch of 4 stars. Still in the top100 players and Alabama gets lots and lots of them. 5 stars are nice, but they are really the cherries on top.

Stocking up with a bunch of 3 stars is what you don't want to see.

Brian Kelly has done a better job of not stocking up on three stars, and getting more four stars. Not Alabama level of recruiting but better than when he started coaching at Notre Dame.

Some of you won’t be satisfied no matter what anyone says. If we say coaching sucked, it was an “excuse”. If we say CU is talented, it’s an “excuse”.

I already said we got our asses kicked. If that isn’t enough for someone, I’m not going to delve for ways to assuage his concerns.

And FWIW, opinions aren’t “fact”.

Twice as many NFL 1st round picks than the next closest team isn’t an opinion. It is a fact.

Just like it is a fact Bama has the most NFL draft picks in the past decade.

And it is a fact that Bama has had the #1 recruiting class 9 out of the past 10 years.

Clemson is a talented team. But the reason they hammered Bama was coaching game plan, on both pffense and especially defense.

Bama has 26 NFL first rounders from 2009-2018 (10 drafts). OSU has 15, so not a fact. Didn't check any other schools, but there's a chance OSU isn't 2nd most in that timeframe.

What the hells the matter with you? You were supposed to trust him.

Ironically, if you go back and fact check him, my guess is he hasn't made a true statement on here in years.

The Sporting News article shows you how badly OSU has performed with the talent they have had. With all that talent — they’ve missed the CFP, made it and lost 31-0, missed the CFP and Missed the CFP.

And made the CFP and won the national title. Why did you leave that out?

Okay, so it is 4 short of being twice as many. Needed 15 instead of 11 more. Only thing that needs that type of precision is neurosurgery and air traffic control...or any other thing where people might die from lack of perfection. (Include financial auditors/accountants in that group. They think their work has to be 100% precise or someone will die...they get real pissy if anything is off by one cent.)

That's just Ohio State. I wouldn't be shocked if LSU has more first rounders in the last decade than OSU.

Because we all treat these things like a lot of people treat the Bible. Only pick out the verses you agree with or support your agenda. Ignore the others...maybe they'll go away.

I don't know. They've sure pissed away a whole lot of talent.
LSU? Yeah no shit. It's hard to believe they had OBJ and Jarvis Landry at the same time and still were only 46th in the nation in passing yards per game.

wait a minute …

Isn't this just what they said last year at this time... what ever happened to bamma being bigger, stronger, faster that ever before this year??? How no other QB was as great as Bama's QB...

Bama got their rear ends whipped this year … next you will be telling bama didn't want to be in the Title game … the kids didn't want to be there ... or their coach couldn't get them up for the National Championship Game ... lol ...
